I worked 35 years for the County of Marin Community Mental Health Services, including 18 years in the Outpatient Medication Clinic.  I managed psychotropic medications for a caseload of over 250 clients.  After retiring from Marin County, I worked nine years at Marin Community Clinic managing psychotropic medications for clients at this primary care clinic.  

I teach Psychopharmacology and the Biological Basis for Behavior at Sonoma State University graduate Counseling Department in Rohnert Park, California, and at The Wright Institute in Berkeley, California.  

I was an academic advisor, a mentor, and a guest lecturer at the University of California, San Francisco, Graduate School of Behavioral Health Nursing.  I was an adjunct professor at the University of San Francisco School of Nursing.  I am a 1996 inductee into the Sigma Theta Tau International Nursing Honor Society.
